2 Sold. This laft day was

A fhrewd one to us.

Eno. O, bear me witness, night, 3 Sold. What man is this?

2 Sold. Stand close, and lift him.

Eno. Be witness to me, O thou bleffed moon,
When men revolted fhall upon record

Bear hateful memory, poor Enobarbus did
Before thy face repent!-

1 Sold. Enobarbus !

3 Sold. Peace; hark further.

Eno. O fovereign miftrefs of true melancholy,
The poifonous damp of night difpunge upon me;
That life, a very rebel to my will,

May hang no longer on me: Throw my heart
Against the flint and hardness of my fault;
Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder,
And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
Forgive me in thine own particular;
But let the world rank me in register

A master

SCENE X. Between the two camps.

Enter ANTONY, and SCARUS, with their army.

Ant. Their preparation is to-day by fea; We please them not by land.

Scar. For both, my lord.

Ant. I would, they'd fight i' the fire, or in the air; We'd fight there too. But this it is; Our foot Upon the hills adjoining to the city,

Shall ftay with us: order for fea is given;
They have put forth the haven: Let's feek a fpot,
Where their appointment we may best discover,
And look on their endeavour.

Straight, how 'tis like to go.

[Exit.

Say, they know not, they cannot tell;—look grimly, And dare not fpeak their knowledge.

Antony
Is valiant, and dejected; and, by starts,

His fretted fortunes give him hope, and fear,
Of what he has, and has not.

Alarum afar off, as at a fea-fight. Re-enter ANTONY.
Ant. All is loft;

This foul Ægyptian hath betray'd me:

My fleet hath yielded to the foe; and yonder
They caft their caps up, and carouse together
Like friends long loft.-Triple-turn'd whore! 'tis thou
Haft fold me to this novice; and my heart
Makes only wars on thee.--Bid them all fly;
For when I am reveng'd upon my charm,
I have done all :-Bid them all fly, be gone.

[Exit SCARUS.

O fun, thy uprife fhall I fee no more:
Fortune and Antony part here; even here
Do we shake hands. All come to this ?--The hearts

That

That spaniel'd me at heels, to whom I
Their wishes, do difcandy, melt their sweets
On bloffoming Cæfar; and this pine is bark'd,
That over-topp'd them all. Betray'd I am:
O this falfe foul of Egypt! this grave charm,--
Whofe eye beck'd forth my wars, and call'd them home;
Whose bofom was my crownet, my chief end,
Like a right gipfy, hath, at faft and loofe,

Beguil'd me to the very heart of lofs.-
What, Eros, Eros!

Enter CLEOPATRA.

Ah, thou fpell! Avaunt.

Cleo. Why is my lord enrag'd against his love? Ant. Vanifk; or I fhall give thee thy deferving, And blemish Cæfar's triumph. Let him take thee, And hoift thee up to the fhouting Plebeians: Follow his chariot, like the greatest spot Of all thy fex; most monster-like, be fhewn For poor'ft diminutives, for doits; and let Patient Octavia plough thy vifage up

With her prepared nails. [Exit CLEO.] 'Tis well thou'rt gone,

If it be well to live: But better 'twere

Thou fell'ft into my fury; for one death
Might have prevented many-Eros, ho!--
The fhirt of Neffus is upon me: Teach me,
Alcides, thou mine ancestor, thy rage:

Let me lodge Lichas on the horns o' the moon;
And with thofe hands, that grafp'd the heavieft club,
Subdue my worthieft felf. The witch fhall die;
To the young Roman boy fhe hath fold me, and I fall
Under this plot: the dies for't.-Eros, ho! [Exit.

Ant. Sometime, we fee a cloud that's dragonish; A vapour, fometime, like a bear, or lion,

A tower'd citadel, a pendant rock,

A forked mountain, or blue promontory

With trees upon't, that nod unto the world,

And mock our eyes with air: Thou haft feen thefe. They are black vefper's pageants.

Eros. Ay, my lord.

The rack diflimns; and makes it indiftinct,

As water is in water.
